Thank you for looking at my item! Please feel free to contact me for additional measurements, photos or any questions at all! I examine each piece carefully and do my best to list any flaws that I can find. I use the Calvin Klein size chart to figure out the closet modern size. While this is my best guesstimate please check a similar garment with this garment's measurements for the best fit!

FAQs

Bust or Armpit: Arm pit to arm pit unless there is an obvious fullest part of the bust in the front.
Waist: Smallest part of the waist. If elastic I will stretch to max for largest number.

Shoulder to Shoulder: from the top of the armhole shoulder seam to the top of the other armhole shoulder seam.
One Shoulder: length of one shoulder from where the garment rests at the neck to the end of the armhole seam.
Center Back Neck to Waist: the back nape of the neck to the waist.

Only except are Bargain Bin items as they are final sale.

I am very meticulous and harsh when it comes to the quality of what I sell and find. I try to best list the flaws that I find on the garments inside and out. These are mostly used and previously worn garments and do my best to resew any loose buttons and fix and holes in any seams that I find.

Excellent- Like new or New Old Stock items. No visible outside or internal flaws.

Very Good- In really great shape but may have some minor flaws or pulls.

Good- In good shape but may have some pilling and minor flaws.

Bargain Bin - May have stains, pulls or distressed areas I was not able to fix. Suitable for Costumes or low no budget films/theatre! All bargain bin items are final sale.

Yes! I can and have! I have recreated and created vintage garments for years. If you see something that has sold and would have loved to have something like it please message me for a quote.

Yes!
In the majority of cases I can ship out next day or maybe able to ship out same day to arrive the next day. Please contact me right away if you need something sent ASAP.

Please check my vacation message because it means I am not able to get to my stock to send things out next day if I am on vacation and have a return date when items will be shipped out. In some cases a friend can ship the item out but it all depends on where the item is located in my stock!

Most items I do ship out next day or same day depending on if it is before 3 pm.

I try my best guesstimate using a modern size chart for current sizing. Many vintage garments do have a size tag in them but are not similar to our current vanity sizing of today.

If you know your own body measurements that is the best thing or if you have a similar fitting garment to compare to even better!

Please note that I do explain what the vintage fit of the garment is if I know it. Like an oversized sweater from the late 1980s early 1990s. A modern size XL or XXL would have been a vintage L.

Yes! My main stock is located in a super secret location in Hudson, MA. I will take appointments to have designers looks through my stock in Hudson or remove the shipping if you would prefer to pick up an item/s. I am always finding items so I have 100's of items not even listed yet. Please feel free to ask me if I have anything and always happy to be on the look out! Discounts are given for bulk purchases.

If anything is unclear please ask me any questions! I am changing how I do my measurements to try and make them easier to understand. My older measurements I doubled the bust (armpit to armpit), waist and hip measurement and now I am just taking the flat measurement without doubling so it's easier to compare to a similar garment. I am also changing my sleeve measurement to the Armpit to end of sleeve hem.

I can also provide measurements of any dress forms or mannequins that the items were displayed on if that helps you figure out sizing or fit. Most of the dress forms are around a size extra small and some are about a small.

I do my best to air out any items that have any cigarette or moth ball smells to them. I do not have the best sense of smell but won't list items until they are presentable! I store my items in a smoke free room where I use baking soda packets to absorb any smells in the boxes. I also use an air cleaner in the room. Some items that were at a previous brick and mortar location may have a slight sage smell that will dissipate (the owner saged the place everyday). I do sage the room occasionally as sage has known to kill any bacteria in the air and on items.

There are no cats ever allowed in my storage area! My dog may come visit but she is not allowed to touch the clothing! I always wash my hands before dealing with the clothing.

I will wash what I feel confident in not ruining! I will add to the listing if the item has been washed and ready to wear.

Most vintage items I have the philosophy of do no harm. I am assuming the wearer will wash/dry clean the item before wearing and trying to preserve the life of the item as washing will start breaking down the number of times an item can be worn.
